Heh! Why not. But at the moment mine is a Schwalbe Kit. I ride Conti tires but my spare folder for longer rural rides is a Schwalbe One V-Guard. Just happened to be the front tire from a set, which I kept after the rear was cut to pieces. Fragile tires but lightweight and great to ride while they lasted.
I lash it under my saddle bag with a Velcro strap. Same thing I did umpteen years ago in the late 1970s-early '80s when the first folding tire appeared. Back then I think they advertised it only as a spare, not for regular use. I lashed it on the back for long rides around SoCal and Baja. Never needed it. Probably don't really need a spare tire now either, but I sometimes carry one on long solo rural rides.

If you have your spare tire/tube bundled up under your saddle,whether old school style or in a container of some sort, would that be considered a Continental Kit like the ones that used to come on cars?
